As to your comment about a gated community, there some logistics around it such as the loss of city/county maintenance of roads and usually trash service. Yes they are well within their rights but it does create a lot of additional headaches.
Correct but it’s still logistics exactly the same as the road. You’re either paying the community to fix your roads (via taxes) or paying the company directly. You also lose a lot of the economies of scale and negotiating power as you’re now a smaller entity.
Indeed. Completely understandable to establish borders to keep certain people out who might mean you harm or who might disrupt the peace of your community. Unfortunately you also need infrastructure to enforce those borders, such as documentation and an enforcement agency. But it’s worth it in order to keep your community safe.

I mean, keeping ice out because they genuinely are a threat is cool. But some people would use this logic to keep out black people, because they falsely believe black people will disrupt the peace or mean them harm.
It’s in their right to form a gated community if they want. And valid warrants are required to enter.
Gonna start with: Fuck ICE.

Trash service is private, you’re either paying your community to pay the company or paying the company directly. Not a big difference.

Its a public street paid for by tax dollars. Not how that works.
So then they really do own it then?
Relax, they are just keeping the streets safe.

Yes exactly, which is why rules like this should never pass.
Don’t tell’em about zip codes!
They might learn this is the exact case already!
As long as that does not extend beyond individual neighborhoods or towns, yes. Once states begin doing it, the problems rise up.
